The little ones will love this lovely treat in San Jose. Museums all over the world are turning interactive to aid learning and the Children’s Discovery Museum opitimizes this exact thought process.

The exhibits are easy to understand and learn from and are sure to keep the interest of the child engaged. Moreover, they constantly change and reinvent their exhibits so this need not be a one-time visit kind of a place at all.

Kids as well as adults can learn a lot more about science, technology, economics, and how the world works in this brilliant museum. There is a lot to see and do, so make sure you have enough time to see it all.

This is a pretty decent children's museum. The outside play area is fantastic, though it could use more seating for parents. There's also an upstairs room that is great for the kids to run around while pants relax by the door. I like the idea of the face painting room, but it's always a logjam of people in there. We haven't eaten much at the Cafe, but I like that they have one. Finally, it's really nice that the light rail stops right outside.

Took my kids here last week. Lots of fun stuff here. A new theme every few months. Great for ages 4-14 and have lots of fun sections such as the bubbles section. everything was great. Interactive stations especially.

A lot of fun stuff. My favorite was probably the bubbles section, but everything was great. Even the outside of the museum is exciting. If you visit, be sure to explore every corner of it. There are some nice hidden corners with fun toys and experiments.

I chaperoned a field trip for my child to the CDM and they had so much fun. The outdoor area is an enormous, creative, nature themed garden. The water area is always busy but the parents and school groups seem to make sure they rotate out so everyone gets a chance. There is a room with special seasonal events, when we went it was about Vietnam. The cafe had nice healthy food choices, much healthier than one might expect for a kid themed place. I felt welcomed by the employees and they were all wonderful with kids. I really enjoyed our visit and hope to take my kids again soon.

It is best to go on weekdays or member only times on Sunday because it can get quite busy. The outdoor area is great albeit wish it was bigger. The water area is definitely the best part of the museum as my kids could stay there for days, but make sure to bring a change of clothes because they will get wet.
